So, decided to make a start on her yesterday.
First up was checking rear brakes, and flushing the brake fluid. Pads still look newish, and rotors are still decent. Will clean them up today and check slider pins etc then refit. Plan is to also clean the wheel well, and dress it where I can in prep for its WoF inspection. Fluid was filthy, and hopefully will stop properly once complete.
Next up was lighting, with a few issues to sort out:
1.High level brake light - checked wiring, and was getting power to the light, which meant it was the unit itself that was at fault. Is a sealed unit and online searches couldn’t locate anything available new. So opened up the unit, and found the circuit corroded and shorted. Opted for a 300mm 12v LED strip from Repco, and had to slightly modify the housing for wiring to run through safely. Fitted perfectly in the housing and gave it a layer of jb weld to put the housing back together again. Will lightly sand and trim paint it once dry before reinstalling, but happy it’s working again!
2. Next was to resolve this:
Started by removing the front bumper and pulling the headlights so it’s easier to clean on a table. One of my fog lights are also fogged, so depending on whether I can find a replacement, I might give it a crack as well depending on how well the polishing on the headlight goes.
Once the rear brakes and lighting is seen to, will move onto the other WoF prep (front brakes etc.)
